Batchelor Institute researchers have a long tradition of meeting the highest possible research integrity standards. Ethical clearance and approval must be obtained for all research projects undertaken in association with the Institute.
As an Institute we acknowledge that all research involves degrees of risk for researchers, research collaborators, participants and communities. It is recognised and respected that current codes and guidelines for ethical research conduct in Australia prioritise the protection of First Nations peoples from exploitation and harm. It is also acknowledged that a majority of researchers engaged in First Nations research are non-Indigenous and that ethics application and approval processes are targeted at this population rather than for First Nations researchers.
In response Batchelor Institute has established a Research Ethics Advisory Committee which provides advocacy, additional support, guidance and, on ‘low risk’ applications approval for Institute researchers and Higher Degree by Research candidates.
The Committee:
